Am I correct in thinking this?

    Question kinda related to this post.

    I’m looking to get back into piracy and have been saving to build a server to handle it. I’m now hearing about these seed boxes in the cloud.

    So my question is this a viable option until I build a server. Like I can set up torrents and maybe Radarr, etc. then just use my home pc for Jellyfin and connect it to the seed box? Or is the seed box mainly used to do the torrenting before you STFP the files to your actual server?

      Yes, you can just use the seedbox to download and run jellyfin locally with the media staying on your box, but it might be a lot easier to just get a seedbox that allows you to run jellyfin on it.

      Afaik, most seedboxes don’t give you full root login, you just get bittorrent and sftp, but if you find a full cloud VPS solution that’s friendly with sailing the seas, you could setup whatever you want.
